Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

76. Winter

Su Jinru: "It's nothing. I was afraid that if I took it to the street, I would be surrounded and attacked. After all, it is a life, so I brought it here. I didn't expect that it would be the right place."

Minister Ye: "This military dog ​​may have gotten lost while being chased during a mission."

“Yes! Nowadays, if people see a living creature, it’s like seeing a piece of meat. They’ll chase after it with all their might. If it were an ordinary dog, it would have been eaten long ago,” another soldier said.

Minister Ye: "This military dog ​​is very smart. It can smell who is a kind person and who is a menacing person. It dares to approach you because it knows you won't hurt it."

Su Jinru thought to herself, "This military dog ​​is indeed quite intelligent. Even though I had a dagger in my hand, it wasn't afraid. It probably knew that I wouldn't hurt it."

"For us soldiers, military dogs are like our comrades-in-arms. We will treat it well and leave it here, so don't worry!"

Su Jinru: "I'm so glad I was able to find it a home."

"In your eyes, this is a life; in other people's eyes, it might just be a pot of meat. It was lucky that it met you. Your kindness saved a soldier for the country."

"You flatter me. It was just an unintentional act, but I'm very pleased that it saved a precious military dog."

Minister Ye: "Has your sister written to you? Is she adjusting well to her position in the army?"

"My sister wrote to me. She's doing well in the army. As a medic, she's participated in various medical and nursing training programs. She's learning new knowledge and applying it to serve the soldiers. She's very happy and proud."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Before they went, Minister Ye told Su Jinru that this group of female soldiers were technical soldiers, some as telephone operators and some as medics.

Being a telephone operator doesn't require much technical skill, but becoming a sanitation worker allows you to learn some medical and nursing knowledge, and the job prospects are good in the future.

So Su Jinru told her sister that if she could choose, she should choose to be a medic.

Later, my younger sister wrote back and indeed chose to become a sanitation worker. She was diligent and eager to learn, and she applied what she learned in practice. She even made a contribution.

"I have to thank Minister Ye for this. Without you giving my sister this opportunity, she would still be a lazy little girl in the countryside. Now she's in the army, and she's full of energy."

"It is my duty to provide the military with outstanding soldiers."

"Minister Ye, I'm relieved to have this military dog ​​in your care. I need to go to the county town and then hurry home; my two children are home alone!"

"Wait a moment, I'll go get some food for you to take back."

"Minister Ye, you can keep it for yourselves! I have food."

With that, Su Jinru hurriedly left.

Minister Ye looked at Su Jinru's tattered clothes and initially thought she might be out looking for food because she had run out. However, seeing that her eyes were clean and bright despite her deliberately dirty face, and that she didn't look listless from hunger at all, he knew that she wasn't starving and that she had dressed like this to protect herself.

Moreover, she immediately refused the help of providing her with food. At this point, a person who is extremely hungry would absolutely not refuse such help.

Therefore, Minister Ye did not insist on giving her food.

Throughout the entire process, Su Jinru did not mention that Qi Zhengyang had used her name to visit Minister Ye, or said anything about her causing him trouble.

It's not her fault.

Minister Ye did not mention it.

There's no point in bringing it up.

The military dog ​​followed Su Jinru for a while, wagging its tail and circling around her a few times.

Su Jinru squatted down and stroked its head.

"Go! It will be dangerous for you to come with me. Stay with Minister Ye and the others and continue to carry out your mission."

The military dog ​​seemed to understand, wagged its tail at Su Jinru, and ran towards Minister Ye and the others.

Su Jinru watched it leave, feeling a little reluctant. This dog was quite intelligent and spirited. If it weren't for the circumstances that prevented her from keeping this police dog, it would have been a wonderful companion. Her son and daughter would definitely have loved it. What a pity.

Su Jinru went to the department store in the county town to buy what she needed and then went back.

Winter is coming.

This is the coldest winter in history.

The fields, the mountains, and the roadsides were all barren and desolate.

There were no plants to eat, so even the bark was peeled off, boiled, and eaten.

Even grass roots and tree roots are not spared.

Some people even went so far as to eat dirt.

Naturally, some people have died from poisoning after eating poisonous grass and tree roots.

The person who ate dirt got so bloated that he couldn't poop and suffocated to death.

Throughout the entire winter, the cold wind howled and howled.

Even more people starved to death at this time.

Qi Zhenglin also starved to death. He went outside to look for food, but found nothing. After being hungry for a long time, he finally collapsed on the village road 600 meters from his home.

When he was discovered, his body was just a skeleton. His clothes had been stripped off, his muscles had been cut away, and he actually had very little muscle left. He was already emaciated from hunger.

The reason they still knew it was him was because everyone had an unspoken agreement: they could cut off the deceased's flesh, but they couldn't damage his face. This was partly because there wasn't much flesh on his face, and partly because it would make it easier for the family to identify him.

If no family members identify and collect the body, it will decompose and rot within a few days, potentially causing infectious diseases.

Many people have already died of hunger; if an infectious disease were to spread, it would only make matters worse.

Someone from the village came to inform Li Meili to collect the body.

Upon hearing the news, Li Meili, who was lying on her deathbed, could only let out a weak howl before losing all strength.

She called her second, third, and fourth brothers to go with her, and asked her fifth and sixth brothers to call her second uncle.

As a result, when Li Meili saw her husband, who was nothing but bones and a head, she immediately fainted.

Faced with their father's horrifyingly white bones and their mother's fainting, the three children were filled with despair and at a loss.

Lying in bed, barely breathing from hunger, Qi Zhengyang was called to open the door by his nephew. Upon hearing that his elder brother had passed away, he collapsed on the village road.

Qi Zhengyang's heart ached terribly.

He was reborn, but he had nothing.

He thought he could change his elder brother's fate, but in the end, he couldn't.

The eldest brother still starved to death.

Compared to his previous life, my elder brother only lived for six months longer.

The older brother, who lived for six more months, died an even more tragic death.

In his previous life, his elder brother starved to death shortly after a famine. At that time, he was able to preserve a complete body. In this life, however, he couldn't even keep his body intact.

Qi Zhengyang was horrified to see his elder brother's naked, mutilated corpse exposed in broad daylight, and he almost fainted.

But he couldn't faint. He bit his tongue tightly, and the cold wind and the pain on his tongue kept him awake.
